Our platform was built to provide transparency, accessibility, and equity to every Muslim investor. By aligning with AAOIFI’s globally recognised standards, we’re reinforcing our foundation for growth, especially as we explore real-world asset tokenisation and digital asset trading within an Islamic framework.”

Sheikh Omar Mustafa Ansari, Secretary General of AAOIFI, added: “We are pleased to welcome Tabadulat as a member of AAOIFI. Their focus on digital innovation and commitment to Shariah-compliant investing reflect the forward-looking spirit we aim to promote in the Islamic finance industry.”

Through this collaboration, Tabadulat will benefit from AAOIFI’s comprehensive Shariah and governance frameworks, periodic updates, and training programs.
